A million dollars might sound like the goal… but in retirement, it's not about the number—it’s about the income. On this episode of Money Matters with Mike, host Mike Zaino and co-host Matt McClure dive into why an income strategy matters more than a big pile of cash, and how you can create guaranteed lifetime income that lasts as long as you do.

Learn about:

  • Why hope is not a plan
  • How to turn savings into a reliable paycheck
  • The “Three Bucket Strategy” to balance growth, safety, and liquidity
  • Creating your own personal pension with an annuity
  • Planning for life’s curveballs with confidence and clarity

Whether you’re just entering retirement or already there, Mike shares practical strategies to help you avoid common mistakes and build a rock-solid retirement income plan.
